The retail sector is currently facing one of its most challenging periods in history as stores and restaurants stay closed and the future of retail remains uncertain.

The parent company behind upscale menswear brand John Varvatos, which has been worn by some of the world’s most famous rock stars, filed for bankruptcy on May 6 after the pandemic shattered its comeback plans.
